4-5 Gray’s Inn Square is consistently ranked as a leading set for local government law. Our barristers advise and advocate for and against a wide range of local authorities, from the largest cities to the smallest parishes. We are home to KCs and juniors rated as leaders in their field and members are often at the forefront of legal developments.

Our strength is our genuine depth of knowledge across the breadth of local government law. We are exceptionally well-placed to advise on the wide range of issues concerning local authorities.
